Trying to learn more about the EX3, I stumbled across this
Web page on the Main Concept site.
It states that the plug-in can "transcode your Sony XDCAM EX footage into common XDCAM HD / HD422 MXF files and also easily copy XDCAM EX footage (SxS memory card) to XDCAM HD / HD422 camcorders and decks (Professional Disc)."
One can only presume the result would be a quasi-HD 422 file. Is that correct? How can it add information that isn't in the original?
